1st. & 2nd Findings of the Precious Head of the Forerunner, Troparion, Tone IV

Troparion - Tone IV

The head of the Forerunner,/ which hath shone forth from the earth,/ doth shed rays of incorruption/ and healing upon the faithful./ On High it assembleth a multitude of angels,/ and below it calleth upon the human race// with one voice to send up glory to Christ God.

Kontakion, Tone II "Seeking the highest"

Kontakion - Tone II

O prophet of God and Forerunner of grace,/ having obtained thy head from the earth like a most sacred rose,/ we ever receive healings,// for again, as of old, thou dost preach repentance in the world.
